Have you ever wondered why a woman continues to be in a relationship she is obviously not happy in? Even if that woman is happy, what if her man is cheating on her, but she still decides to stay.

Why keep a man in a monogamous, trustworthy, and loyal relationship if he is not abiding by any of those vital concepts. We are stronger than this ladies. We do not need a man to make us happy or prove that we are worthy of love. We deserve the best and nothing less. A question that arises from all of these implications is "why does she stay?" Well here are some reasons that may answer this question:

1. The Memories

In every relationship there will always be good and bad times, but if the bad out weighs the good drastically then should you really be holding on? The good memories are always the factors that keep us holding on to any relationship. We can't hold on to the past and expect it to foreshadow the future. Make new memories and learn from the past, to create a better future.

2. The "Change" Factor

Most women feel that they can change a man, but lets be honest. You can not change anybody. Women have a tendency of creating an "ideal man" in their heads and expecting every guy who walks in their life to be that "ideal man." It is like a challenge for woman, to create their "ideal man" out of the one they have. Sometimes women choose "the player" in hopes of being the one he changes for. Stop trying to change someone from being who they truly are; they are showing their true colors.

3. Real Love

The emotional attachment is probably the biggest issue of them all. Once a woman truly loves a man, there is no going back. A women will put her all into a man and if she truly is in love with him, then she will indeed stay.

4. Blind Love

Some women just don't see the kind of person they are with. They are blinded by love, and can't see how bad the situation truly is. In the words of one of the best female rappers, Eve, "love is blind, it'll take over your mind."

5. Monophobia

For those who do not know, monophopia is the fear of being alone. Most women are scared to lose the person they are with, because they think they will be forever alone after and no one will want them.

6. Time & Energy

As you get older, looking for the "perfect man" becomes more and more fictional. Females begin to realize that they have invested a great deal of time and energy into one person and don't want it to go to waste. A relationship involves a lot of time and energy, but there should be an equal amount of time and energy coming from both partners.

7. Consolation

Women stay in relationships, because they are comfortable with the situation they are in. Being used to someone and knowing exactly how they are sometimes makes staying with them easier. Even if they know how bad the relationship is, there is a certain comfort in knowing who you're with and what is next. No one wants to take the extra time to get to know someone all over again.

8. Judgement

The society we are living in today is very judgmental. A lot of women stay in relationships, because they are scared of what people outside of the relationship will think.

9. You're Special

When a man makes a women feel special, she often ignores the bad things that occur. "You know you're the only girl I care about?" A typical quote from a man who wants a women to think she is the only one. I'm the only one? Oh really? Then these other girls shouldn't be relevant then. You are one of a kind ladies and hold so much power. Do not let any man keep you from loving yourself and giving you what you deserve.
